That looks like a fuel-water separator. The bowl
hangs down you can just see it and at the very

That’s surface rust from condensation trapped by the rubber mat that used to
cover the trunk floor. While those things were rugged as heck, they contributed
significantly to rust on the trunk floor. Best
Yes very nice looking. Trunk floor might be rusty, or perhaps it's just surface
rust.

Are these cars like the W123/126 in the way of ignition lock removal?
Pretty much.
Is it possible to hook a battery up and start it without the key using
just the start pull lever?
Not really, in that the key is _supposed_ to interlock the knob.
But sometimes that interlock is broken...

Sorry, Kevin, I don't know; it's been a long time since I worked on the

My 73 220D has better than 800,000 miles on the clock.
Engine rebuilt once or twice since new per original
owner. Don't know the extent of the rebuild(s).
Maybe they fixed things in 1973.

similar synthetics, maybe once instead of twice.

I've been running it on dino oil but will switch to

I recommend doing an oil analysis for a couple oil changes on that
engine if you want to switch to Mobil 1 -- they tend to accumulate soot
much faster than later diesels, and you may not be able to run 6000
miles before you go over the soot limit.

From the notes in the factory repair manual, it looks like the entire
run of 220s, 68 to 72 were a problem. Head design was changed a couple
times, so were cylinder liners and piston.
One needs to have a care to get it all correct when doing a rebuild!
